Amazing!!! Stunning location / beautiful villa.

This was our first trip to Sardinia and we will definitely be coming back - not just to Sardinia but to this wonderful villa.

In our experience the photographs of holiday destinations / accommodation are often better than the reality but not this time. This villa is a real gem. It is very high specification and tasteful. It has everything you could possibly want and more. The hilltop location is stunning giving views from Corsica to Stintino. The rooftop terrace gives an amazing 360 degree viewing platform. At night the milky way is clearly seen and we were lucky enough to see a shooting star whilst listening to the gentle sound of sheep bells and cicadas. The pool was great and deep enough for teenage children to jump safely into (all day long!). We didn't need to bring as many clothes as we did as there is a very good washing machine and outdoor drying facilities. The dishwasher is a bonus as no one likes washing dishes on holiday. We also really enjoyed cooking on the outside oven with lots of wood readily available. We were constantly treated to a fantastic array of wildlife - especially the swallow-tail butterflies. The pine martin was a very special spot.

We loved the location up its own long private driveway with electric gates at the entrance. However, it is very quick (10min) to Castelsardo for restaurants and beaches (we loved Lu Bagnu - again recommended by Pasquale and Daniele). There are a huge number of beaches within a short drive. We have spent a number of holidays in the Caribbean and the Sardianian beaches easily match those (e.g. La Maddalena archipelago, La Pelosa at Stintino). We flew into Olbia - it took about 1.5 hours to get to the villa (Pasquale gave great directions).

Pasquale and his brother Daniele (owners of the villa) are delightful. They were very helpful and all their recommendations turned out to first class. Pasquale made sure we had the best tables in all the restaurants that he booked for us. He is particularly knowledgeable about the local food and wine. We particularly enjoyed the very close by Agriturismo restaurant where we had a wonderful authentic Sardinian meal at a bargain price.

On one occasion where we were uncertain about how to operate something in the villa Daniele was at the villa to help us out within a few minutes. Daniele also kept us supplied with wonderful fresh vegetables grown on his farm.

We often feel ready to come home after a 2 week holiday but not this time!

Peaceful retreat with far reaching views

This villa was everything we had hoped for after reading the other reviews. It is situated on a small hill with lovely rural views over the valley, mountains beyond and the coastline. The villa itself is well presented and extremely well equipped with everything you would need and the outside grounds are also cared for and include a roof terrace where you can watch the sun go down over a glass of wine! The owner, Pasquale and his family were extremely nice and helped us make bookings for local restaurants and visited the property each day to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend this for a quiet, relaxing break, however there is still much to see if you wish to venture out for day trips, including Alghero on the north-west coast and the more touristy area of Costa Smeralda and La Maddalena on the north-east coast.

Perfect Sanctuary

We were seeking two weeks of peace and tranquility, natural beauty, a high standard of accommodation and some sporting activities available on tap (swimming pool and tennis court). We found all of this in abundance at La Volpaia, with the added bonus of the company of Pasquale, Brigitte and Daniele, who discreetly and unobtrusively attended to the garden and swimming pool on a daily basis. The villa is equipped to a very high standard and has a delightful ambience; the owners have thought of everything. The location is well placed for exploring both inland and coastal regions. Being situated in the hills, there was usually a welcome breeze to alleviate the August heat. The sunrises viewed from the terrace were unforgettable, as were the regular visits by the sheep, adorned with tinkling bells, to the field behind the villa. The absence of traffic on the roads was a welcome relief from the congestion of England! Our special thanks to Daniele for the generous supply of delicious fresh vegetables. It was a magical holiday, which more than fulfilled our expectations. Huge thanks and we will be returning.

Very little to add to the other reviews really. The villa is in the most beautiful location in the countryside with stunning views of the surrounding hills and coastline. All you hear is the sound of birds, the mooing of cows and the goat bells ringing. Villa itself is very well equipped (although oven needs fixing!) with great TV and a lovely outside seating area for eating al freso. Pasquele was on holiday for our first 7 days but we were very well looked after by Daniele who arranged our trip to the islands and our Saturday night at the local agro turismo over the hill which is a must for any villa guests as the food is superb and lovely friendly service and unbelievable value. Sardinia is lovely and would reccomend exploring as much of the north as you can.

Beautiful Sardinian Villa

This villa is excellent in every way. Very well maintained, clean and easy to live with.

We travelled with 2 1/2 year old twins and they loved running the place and because of the solid walls and doors, and shutters slept perfectly every night.

It is in a very peaceful position away from everyone, but that does mean driving to go out for meals or buying supplies from supermarkets.

The big TV with Sky and multi language options is great which meant cartoons for the kids and a few films/music for us at night. The pool is also very nice and a decent size and looked after by Pasquale every night (cleaning filters, checking ph etc).

Pasquale (and his brother Danielle) are lovely - always very helpful and we often shared a beer and chat when he arrived in the evening to maintain the pool/empty bins etc. No sign of a dog that others had mentioned!

Shops - be aware they all shut on Sunday by 1pm (and most close during the afternoon) so make sure you have your supplies before then. The SISA supermarket (open 8am-8pm)is at the Castlesardo marina and has most things. However, if you want a big shop you will save money by going to Auchan at Sassari which also has McDonalds etc.

The beaches are generally very nice, but we kept returning to the Lu Bagnu not just because it is the closest, but its actually very nice and particularly good for small children.

We had mixed weather from quite cool through to very hot - however, the villa remained very comfortable at all times which for me is very important.

Sardinia is a very relaxed part of the world and very friendly but not over the top. Come here for a relaxing chillout in a great villa with lovely views over the countryside and superb local beaches.

A wonderful stay

We had a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing holiday in October at La Volpaia.

Highlights were the wonderful views and overall high standard of the property. Great flatscreen TV and cooking facilities!

The weather was a little bit chilly in the evening, but wonderful and hot during the day in October. Pasquale & his wife were really helpful when we arrived, telling us the local best places to visit, beaches and places to eat. The agroturismo over the hill was amazing - great food, warm welcome and reasonably priced.

I'd highly recommend the villa and this part of Sardinia - a really lovely holiday awaits!
